4.0 to 4.1 - Fault string: The session is not authenticated.

I've done a few updates and it was painless from 4 to 4.1 however with on box I am having a issue with.

I am not near the server and my connection at home is with a 3G card but at work where i do the updates has a 200Kb upload semi stable.

This is the command im issuing:

vihostupdate.pl --server sv1.localnet.com -i -b upgrade-from-ESXi4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0.260247-release.zip -B ESXi410-GA-esxupdate --verbose

Bunch of nonsense but here are the errors...

Requested 474 MB and 4092 MB is allocated at /tmp/updatecache

Copy upgrade-from-ESXi4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0.260247-release.zip to server at /tmp/upda

tecache/upgrade-from-ESXi4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0.260247-release.zip

Please wait patch installation is in progress ...

Install operation failed:

SOAP Fault:

Fault string: The session is not authenticated.

Fault detail: NotAuthenticatedFault

My guess would be the password? But not the case...

vihostupdate.pl --server sv1.localnet.com --query

Enter username: root

Enter password:

I tried doing this around 3 times and the same outcome.

Guess my question is... Is there a time out for the authentication?Any other options around this?
